Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of 22 amusing and clever plays by Pedro Lanini y Sagredo, a playwright and censor of plays in 17th century Spain. These short, entertaining, and accessible plays satirize the theatrical tastes of the time, with many of the plots revolving around the common practice of playwrights stealing material from previous works, which was referred to as "borrowing." Far from being dry critiques, these lively plays include mistaken identities, slapstick, witty dialogue, and clever solutions to absurd problems. Delving into themes of love, loss, power dynamics, and artistic integrity, Lanini y Sagredo provides a fascinating glimpse into the literary scene of the era and reminds us that many of the same theatrical conventions and human foibles that were parodied in the 17th century are still relatable today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
